Arsene Wenger finally opens up on his love-hate relationship with his coat’s zip

As legendary as Arsene Wenger’s tenure is at Arsenal Football Club, perhaps the Frenchman’s relationship with zips has gained even a bigger cult following. There is no denying the fact that Wenger is one of the greatest managers of all-time. His achievements speak for himself and in his 20+ years in charge of Arsenal, he won innumerous trophies and with his tactics and fitness regimes, almost single-handedly revolutionized English football know for it’s hoofball tactics.

Wenger gave innumerable memorable moments to not only the Arsenal but all the neutral fans as well but none were more memorable than his wars against the zips of his coats.
